An excellent travelling companionI already have the South Alps sister book and having just returned from a cycling trip to the Northern Alps with the new book, I can heartily recommend them both! If you want to ride the famous climbs or somewhere a little quieter off the beaten track, you will find them invaluable for pictures, detailed route descriptions and sheer inspiration!!

Wonderfully printed book with a terrific formatThis book made the perfect gift. Although when it was sent it had Rapha printed on the cardboard box which gave the game away to its recipient! Other than that perfect!
